Multi Parametric Molecular Diagnostics Share this page

Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the breast has been the main stay of breast MRI with an excellent sensitivity but limited specificity. Available data suggests that the use of other functional MRI parameters such as diffusion waited imaging and proton MR spectroscopic imaging may provide additional specificity. Several technologies have become commercially available for the multiparametric molecular detection of RTIs in the past decade including tests based on PCR-array, PCR-mass spectrometry, and multiplex qPCR technologies.
